Joe Biden: Threat of Russian Invasion of Ukraine Is “Very High”
Occidental Dissent - Feb 17th 2022 12:19pm ESTHere is what I believe: Russia hasn’t invaded Ukraine.

Joe Biden Gives Update on Russia-Ukraine Crisis
Occidental Dissent - Feb 15th 2022 6:25pm ESTJoe Biden has said that Russia is invading Ukraine either tomorrow or by the end of the week. I guess we will see what happens. The thing that worries me is that it is obviously not in Joe’s interest to get humiliated again on the world stage or to spook the markets and have gas […]
Ukranian President: Russia Is Attacking Us Wednesday
Occidental Dissent - Feb 14th 2022 3:09pm ESTWell … this isn’t looking good.
Ukranian President: Yes, Actually, We Would Like To Join NATO
Occidental Dissent - Feb 14th 2022 1:05pm ESTI’ve been hoping that Ukraine would agree not to join NATO like Finland and Sweden and that this crisis would blow over. This would seem to be the sane exit ramp to me. Note: Zelensky is a comedian. I hope he is joking about this.
Breaking Points: Russian Invasion Imminent?
Occidental Dissent - Feb 14th 2022 12:27pm ESTI’ve got a bad feeling about this. Yes, the “intelligence community” are a bunch of serial liars, but the Russian military buildup speaks for itself. Joe Biden is also a weak and flailing president presiding over a country that is consumed with domestic problems and which isn’t willing to fight over Ukraine. Note: I’m dreading […]

CNN: Voter Suppression May Not Be Reason Democrats Lose Midterms
Occidental Dissent - Feb 12th 2022 2:19pm ESTUPDATE: Dump is slamming Sleepy Joe on Ukraine. You think? As things stand today, it looks like we are headed for my first big miss in my 2022 forecast. I didn’t think this Ukraine situation was going to pop off. It now looks like a much more realistic possibility. Joe is going to be lucky […]
Joe Biden Sends 3,000 More Troops To Poland
Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2022 5:50pm ESTRelax. Joe Biden is FDR. It is a new progressive era. I’m sure he won’t embarrass us again. He will face down Vladimir Putin like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema and show him who is boss. Politico:
CNN: A Grim Portrait of Biden’s Unhappy America
Occidental Dissent - Feb 11th 2022 11:39am ESTNo one could have imagined this. We’ve only been consistently saying that we dislike the American Empire for the past 30 years. The political establishment, of course, ignored our grievances which were dismissed as “racism.” CNN: A year ago, the pundit class was ecstatic. We were in a “new progressive era.” Joe Biden was FDR. […]
Poll Watch: Trump Voters Now Twice As Likely As Biden Voters To Say Russia-Ukraine Conflict “None of America’s Business”
Occidental Dissent - Feb 8th 2022 2:21pm ESTOnce again, I’m largely happy with Tucker Carlson’s influence on the GOP. He is pushing the GOP to become better on lots of issues than it otherwise would be. Yahoo News: “The poll of 1,628 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Feb. 3 to 7, found that a full 42 percent of Trump voters now […]
New York Times: Hawks Are Standing In the Way of a New Republican Party
Occidental Dissent - Feb 5th 2022 1:46pm ESTIn the wake of the Trump years, I have become more upbeat, optimistic and productive. I’ve done this by drawing an important distinction within the Republican Party. Since I only have one vote and I live in Alabama, I don’t think much about voting for politicians. I’m just an analyst. I see myself as working […]
Joe Biden Deploys 3,000 Troops To Eastern Europe
Occidental Dissent - Feb 2nd 2022 2:00pm ESTDo you remember when we gave Joe Biden credit in August for pulling troops out of Afghanistan? At the end of the day, he simply signed off on a higher military budget and sent them to a different country.
Brian Stelter: Tucker Carlson Is The Darling Of Russian State TV

Dumb and Dumber Press Conference
Occidental Dissent - Jan 28th 2022 3:47pm ESTGen. Mark Milley: “Sure, it does feel different. In terms of what we’ve seen in the past of Russian exercises, etc. This is larger and anything in scale and scope in the massing of forces than anything we’ve seen in recent memory.” pic.twitter.com/B7RPUF1U1H — CSPAN (@cspan) January 28, 2022 I don’t know about you, but […]
Breaking Points: Ukraine Crisis: Is Biden Bumbling Us Into WW3
Occidental Dissent - Jan 25th 2022 2:23pm ESTThis is why it was important to give Joe Biden credit on Afghanistan. The fact that Biden took such a big hit in the polls for doing the right thing and withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan means that it will be harder for him to stand up to all the warmongers over Ukraine. Rest assured, […]
Tucker vs. Brianna
Occidental Dissent - Jan 25th 2022 10:29am ESTI’m glad Tucker is using his platform to push back against the neocons and neolibs on Ukraine.
Poll Watch: Fewer Than 1 in 6 Americans Want U.S. Troops Involved In Ukraine-Russia War
Occidental Dissent - Jan 24th 2022 2:38pm ESTWe hear a lot about polarization. The public really ISN’T divided though on inflation being the most important issue facing the country or wanting nothing to do with any border conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Newsweek: “A poll from Convention of States Action (COSA) in partnership with the Trafalgar Group found that just 15.3 percent […]
Breaking Points: Biden Floats Sending Thousands Of Troops To Eastern Europe
Occidental Dissent - Jan 24th 2022 12:11pm ESTRoss Douthat thinks we should fold on Ukraine.

New York Times: “One of the hardest challenges in geopolitics is figuring out how to conduct a successful […]
Anthony Blinken Warns Russians
Occidental Dissent - Jan 23rd 2022 11:15pm ESTSecretary of State Anthony Blinken was all over coastal media this morning. In spite of what you may have heard, we’re all united behind Joe Biden when it comes to standing up to Vladimir Putin and going to war with Russia over this Ukraine thing.

Rich Lowry: Vladimir Putin Shouldn’t Be a Rightwing Hero
Occidental Dissent - Dec 10th 2021 10:38am ESTWhy on earth should I dislike Vladimir Putin? What has Vladimir Putin or Russia ever done to harm us? We already live under “authoritarianism” of the leftwing variety. Experience has shown that Vladimir Putin was wise to crush those people. They aren’t restrained by liberal norms in this country. They have no one but themselves […]
Poll Shows Majority of Americans No Longer Trust The Military
Daily Stormer - Dec 7th 2021 8:00am ESTThis ad makes me want to join the army of whichever country the US goes to war with It’s very clear to everyone that the American government has declared war on the American people, and it is now undeniable that the American military is fully willing to fight that war against you.

National Review: The United States Should Defend Taiwan
Occidental Dissent - Dec 2nd 2021 6:16pm ESTI don’t support going to war with China over Taiwan. This is the surest way that I can think of though to bring down the American Empire and expose every domestic weakness that has accumulated here over the past forty years. It is a question on the same level of whether Britain should go to […]
Ryan Grim: Saudi Arabia Is Why Your Gas Tank Costs So Much To Fill
Occidental Dissent - Nov 11th 2021 1:20pm ESTPresident Biden: “Did you ever think you’d be paying this much for a gallon of gas? In some parts of California they’re paying $4.50 a gallon.

Sheldon Adelson’s Widow Is Ready To Purchase Congress
Occidental Dissent - Nov 7th 2021 8:06am ESTWe appear to be locked in for the next year or two: Trump voters are angry, fired up and engaged in politics while Biden voters are increasingly disillusioned with politics Clearly, the 2022 midterms will be determined more by waxing anti-Biden sentiment than waning anti-Trump sentiment. This assumes that Blumpf will have the strategic patience […]
